<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Dan is correct. There is no testing tool that can find 100%, so

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Each of them can be good for finding particular things, though. This one could be handy for a developer to test to be sure form fields and link text are correct and meaningful, to see if your in-page navigation by element
is useful, and to check that alternative text for images makes sense in context. I suppose you could use it to do an audit for those things, but I would probably use other tools since it's JAWS-specific.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Just based on the video that Doug linked and the bit of text on that page, I would say this tool has limited use for evaluating true accessibility of a web page or web-based application. There is much more to accessibility than assuring "JAWS
accessibility" and we need to keep reminding designers and developers that screenreaders are not the only AT that is in use, nor do they define what accessibility means for web-delivered materials.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just this week we met with a software company and part of their design/dev team and one of the key devs was quite familiar with NVDA. That was really nice to see, but they were still missing some important visual accessibility issues as well as overall
functional accessibility/usability with their product. Using and knowing screen readers only catches some of the issue. They are key issues, but far from a complete accessibility picture.</div>
